Consulting the Oracle
I make a semi-circle
incision in my skin and
peel back the flesh
there is the old
testament with blood-
soaked pages
this means the gaza
strip and iraq will
face jehovah’s wrath
mouthing quaint words
I suture the wound with
hair from collateral damage
the old ones know
me as belial but
friends call me alberto.
